Servers are running. Cant watch video on Firefox.

Post by mamamicos »

Version 1.27.99.0.
Installed on Ubuntu 14...
Playing on Firefox 31

Servers are up and look running. Camera is green and Mod detect is capturing events...
But CAN NOT watch the video on Firefox 31.0.
I cant watch monitor stream... not events captured. Looks like zoneminder is watching them because has events captured and is green!!!

Any idea?

You forgot to enable CGI in Apache2

CGI is not enabled in Ubuntu 14.04 by default. Enable it this way:

a2enmod cgi

Create a new user

adduser www-data video

Restart Apache

/etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload

Also in Firefox:

You will need to increase the number of allowed connections to use the montage view with more than a small number of cameras. Certain FireFox extensions such as FasterFox may also help to achieve the same result.

To resolve this situation, follow the instructions below:

Enter about:config in the address bar

scroll down to
browser.cache.check_doc_frequency 3
change the 3 to a 1

browser.cache.disk.enable True -> False
network.http.max-connections-per-server -> put a value of 100
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy -> 100 again
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server -> 100 again
